MITCHELLsTowN's INQUEST.
At to-day's hearing in the inquest over
the victims of the conflict between the
police and meeting in Market Square, at
Mitchellstown, on Sept. 8, Constable Doran
swore that he fired four times at the crowd,
twice with buckshot and twice
with ball. The first bullet he
fred, he said, prostrated a man.
He said tho crowd stoned the barracks and
he believed the barracks was in danger
when he fired. He said his face was
wounded. When the Coroner asked him to
stand up and exhibit a wound, no wound
was apparent on his face.
Continuing Doran said that Police In
spector Irwin ordered the constables to fire
from the crowd struck the witness and dis
located his right thumb. This, however, did
not prevent him from firing again.
Mr.. Harrington-And numbering?
The witness declined to answer Mr.. Har-
rington's interrogatory.
Mr. Harrington-Have you any doubt on
either your mind or your conscience, that
you killed Lonerganl
The witness hesitated and then declined to
answer.
FIRED THREE CHARGES OF BALL.
Sergt Ryder deposed that he fired three
charges OF ball from a window of the bar
racks. He declined to say whether he muir
dered any one. He simply did his duty, he
said.
Mr.. Harrington dnterposing)-Listen to
me, you villain.
The witness replied warmly that he was
no villain, and he asked the Coroner's pro-
lection.
Mr.. Harrington declared that the witness
had been sent to check and bully him. He
said he was hardly able to restrain himself
from kicking the witness there and then.
A spirited alteration ensued which sew
eral times threatened to culminate in free
fight between the counsel, witness and spec
tators Sergt Ryder retorted that Mr..
Harrington would not dare 10 use such Ian
guage outside the court.
Mr.. Harrington appealed for the Coroner's
protection.
The spectators cheered him and began to
move toward the witness, and only the
urgent entreaty of the Coroner prevented
t1eir laying violent hands upon the witness.
The inquiry was finally adjourned until
tomorrow. The crowd outside the gate
gave Mr.. Harrington an ovation. 1t is GER
tain that a verdict of murder will be rem
dered against certain policemen.
